Here's the main issue I have.You remember that whole "You lost, get the f**k out of my guild." thing that Sabertooth introduced?Yeah, Sting and Rouge just got manhandled by one guy. Two on one and they still got raped.They just lost their right to even look at anyone in Sabertooth.

From a fan standpoint I was like, "YEAHHHH," because I really, really wanted them to win. I hope Fairy Tail gets their "number 1" spot back since they deserve it, and if they're going to lose their Number 1 spot then I'd want it to happen because someone legitimately became better as opposed to, you know, all the best members disappearing and other guys taking over.

From a writing standpoint, I know that it wasn't really the best writing. Natsu/Gajeel shouldn't have even won at all, no matter how it was done - even if they got the snot beaten out of them and managed to pull through in the end or anything like that. That's just based on how much Sting/Rogue have been built up until now.

So the conclusion is that it technically is "bad" but I was super happy with it anyways :3

Although, the way in which Natsu did it so easily makes me wonder if they're REALLY down and out XD Or if the next chapter is going to begin with "WAIT, THEY'RE GETTING BACK UP!" Then again, the points have already been given out...

Fellow neoseekers, it seems that you have gotten it all wrong. There was built up for Sting and Rogue but the main build up is all about Lucy and that mysterious gate that the evil guy wants to wants to open... Sting and Rogue don't share a major role in the main build up

So all of you guys that are compaining about how the match ended could just shut up and continue to wait for the next chapter

Have you been reading the same Fairy Tail that we have? Sting and Rogue may not be the final battle but have you not been reading all of the build up about their strength? Final battle or not it doesn't matter, they are the two strongest members of the strongest guild. They should not have been beaten by pretty much just Natsu who didn't even use Lightning Mode when they clearly were going all out.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Minerva was built up to be the strongest, GuitarMan91

Not that Sting and Rogue weren't hyped up a lot, themselves. I think it WAS a little cheap that they were beaten that way but I definitely don't think that they were supposed to be considered less important than whatever the Lucy plot is.

Highlight this box with your cursor to read the spoiler text.So we can expect at least three deaths, it seems. Any guesses?

1. Makarov2. Laxus/Mirajane/Gildartz3. Gajeel

Makarov just because dude, the guy's been slated for death for years now. I'm expecting the second person to be a big name in guild, but not Erza. And Gajeel just because of the last death mentioned. Her 'dear ...' and Levy's been crushing on Gajeel for a while now, it seems.

Natsu, Gray, and Erza are the three big ones. It seems too obvious to kill them. Lucy apparently survives because Levy's writing to her unless she's trying to time travel or something.

It started out so nice, and then I'm just like, what the hell. I feel sick :(

Spoiler:Chapter 197

It COULD be people from other guilds... not just Fairy Tail. They do have a lot of friends who are in the tournament, outside of Fairy Tail.

I also don't think that Lucy is out of the question to be one of the ones that died. Levy could just be writing a letter to make herself feel better. There's this thing that if you're mad at someone (or upset, whatever) you write a letter to them but never send it - it's supposed to help you feel better.

Either way, I'm freaking out. Is it Friday yet? Is it?

Don't freak out about this:

But the next two weeks of chapters will be side stories. So you're gonna have to wait 3 more weeks to see what happens.
